Definitely engage separator and feeder house at low idle, it will lug the engine but won't kill it, it's pretty much a must

Little advice, engage separator and header at low idle. It’s easier on the belts and other components, and then idle up.

If the combine is equiped for autosteer, pay for the row sense... in down corn it works amazing and reduces fatigue and stress on the operator!!

I see a lot of people talking about the header, so I guess I’ll give a tip too. The handle you got on your fuel tank is for def. (Hanse the blue handle) Def handles are smaller then fuel handles and pump less at a slower rate. So if you’d like to fill equipment up get a green handled nozzle and I bet you can fill things quicker!

You should keep a jar of each crop so it's a memento.

It’s gonna sound like it almost stalls out but it won’t. Turn both the separator and feeder house on at low idle. Turning them on is just asking to throw the feeder house chain into the combine. Just from experience anyway.

It's interesting how the northern farmers seem to start harvesting beans before corn and switch back and forth between the two along the way. Here in Louisiana corn is harvested before beans and is usually finished before switching to beans.

I just love watching this, i have grown up with so it all seem so natural. I took over a small custom business 10 years ago, and now we are one of the largest in our country. All the best to you, and dont care if people look weird or give you some weird comment.

Way to go Grant! Watching that header come up off the trailer shows the power of the operation you have assembled! I enjoy your introspection. To move from wishing to strong, enduring action is a major change of maturing. Yes, take your time and allow the comparison to sink in. Then I know you are back to being in the moment. We do appreciate how far we have come sometimes! Thanks for sharing these moments! :)

Awesome stuff Grant, your living your dream and many other peoples dreams. Thank you for taking us along on this amazing ride with your videos.

Grant I got to say from watching you play farming simulator and on the computer and to watch u grow the KZfaq channel about your real life farm. Has better a great opportunity for me to enjoy farming. We use to own a dairy farm and the government pretty much running us in the ground cause we was little. Now I'm a Wildland firefighter but I love watching a young man like yourself take it by the horns and doing a great job man. Keep up the great work cause laying in my tent at night on fires gives me something good to watch but to see the younger generation coming up and looking at u for the roll model in farming. Please keep up the great work brother.

When you open your shed doors open Both so if a gust of wind blows it doesn’t break your doors and siding

Very cool to see you living your dream, that’s something I wish I had pursued many years sooner. Good luck this harvest

I can relate to what you said towards the end of the video. I remember as a kid being so excited to see all the harvesting action. I couldn’t wait to one day do it myself. Well, it may be with a 1968 Gleaner G with a few old gravity wagons, but now I’m finally doing it!

So glad you are now living your dreams. This first harvest will be one you’ll never forget

you can always rent a corn head for a season til you find the right one. it's never a bad idea in farming to take your time and make sure you are happy with what youve got.

Glad you got a corn header. Won't be long till harvest. Glad you called the car in, by us a farmer just found a car in his field person was dead

You can definitely tell watching this video compared to previous that you really took time to film and edit every aspect of what you had going on. Thank you for bringing us along! Great video!

Man I love watching you work for your dream. Your a hard working man and I respect that. I’ve been watching The Squad back in FarmSim15. Love Spencer’s 6.0 btw

That fresh cab is a definite must. My combine use to smell like a cow yard till I started putting them in. Makes a difference plus if you store a vehicle for a decent amount of time it’s definitely a must to help keep the rodents away to. Definitely looking forward to your harvest videos man.

Spences face when he revels his 6.0 up was funny

Hydraulic lines for fuel work well can get them made at any length

Make sure you’re starting the head and spectator at low idle then you want to go mid idle for a couple seconds then high

Good luck on the harvest!

So happy for you living your dream. Just be very careful working by your self keep your cell in your pocket in case a accident would happen. Great video your so honest.

Great video. Awesome progress.

I'm so happy for you man you keep doing what you're doing and i sure hope that the harvest goes well!

Hey Grant, on our shed we have a steel rod that goes into the ground from the end of the door in the middle of the doorway. It's handy for if there is a lot of wind.

I wish you a bountiful harvest! Have a good time!

First of all your brother is great. To do this with him and your dad is really neat. Your videos and commentary are perfect. The detective work on the car owner was funny. That’s something I would have done. You did the right thing calling it in. Farmers are so great to help you out with their advice. I think it’s the only profession where people help each other rather than compete with one another. Looking forward to seeing how big your smile is when that first crop goes into the combine. Stay well young man.

Your beans won’t be too much longer!Looking forward to watching your combine get to rolling!

Don’t know if you’ve read what the 1,2,3 buttons are but you can set them to the header height you want. Like corn I personally use 1 as all the way up and 2 as cutting height. When in the beans I set 2 to be about 2” off the ground and 3 as on the ground cause if you don’t it will slam the header on the ground and eventually wreck the header.

One thing I've learned over the years and its hard to do, but take your time during harvest and enjoy it, you work all year to produce the crop and some guys just want to see how fast they can finish, harvest is a special time of year sit back and enjoy it!!

Looking good my friend.

I absolutely love how humble you are and willing to learn from the comment section. Hopefully we can warn you about some of our big mistakes before they happen to you (I have plenty to share lol)

Always start the separator and feeder house at low idle then before you go into the crop kick it up into high idle

Best of luck grant, it’s been long in the waits but it’ll be worth it!

Can´t wait for your first harvest video!:)

Another great video - thanks for the videos - keep 'em coming!

So happy to see you succeeding in your dream man, can’t wait for harvest videos!

We started beans last week in northern IL!! Some guys are already rolling on corn. I hope your harvest is safe and you get good yields!

Great video, love this channel, thanks for posting and good luck with the harvest 👍👏👏👍

When your concrete has been sealed use a degreaser so it will not strip off the sealant like brake clean.

Looks like everything went good connecting the combine and stuff Grant. Just be sure to engage the separator and feederhouse at low idle. It’ll seem like it bogs it down a lot but it’s designed to do that. If it almost stalls it, it should have a safety of some sort on it that will shut the separator and feederhouse off for say if they were plugged or something. Love the videos!

Hope you have a good first harvest.

Keep up the outstanding work as always! Love harvest! Just wrapped up the year in Wisconsin! Love what your doing! YEEYEE and have a good one! : )

Great video enjoy watching keep the great work and stay safe

Really enjoying the videos. Awesome you getting to live out your dream of farmin

You're living the dream. Congrats.

Definitely ready for harvest

Waiting for the harvest, super hyped for harvest video!

Time just keeps rolling, doing good!

Here is some advice from our farm. We take our heads off the trailer then hook up hoses and the pto shaft. It makes it just a bit easier for you

Love the combine

Spence should replace the fuel handle because that’s a def handle. Get a fuel or diesel handle and it will be bigger and you can fill faster. Also you went and put concrete in the whole shed you could almost go the extra step and just make the whole thing a heated shop. Just my two cents.

Separator should be turned on in the low idle and then idle up and turn on your header and if you plug if you push the header switch down and then pull it back wards it reverses everything and seporator switch is on the right

A longer hose is always a good thing 😂

Make sure that you get a 220 amp outlet because you never know when you need one.

Hey Grant, when your starting your separator and feeder house, you just want to be at idle otherwise it’s kinda hard on the machine. It will not stall the machine. But once you get everything running you can bump the rpms up to full.

Great video, you should engage separator and header while in low idle, then idle up. That is much easier on components

great vid good luck with your harvest

Just finished watching "Hartung family farms" they got a brand new Thunder Creek fuel trailer, with a 35 foot fuel hose. Just thought I'd pass that along. I really enjoy your channel.

In my area of NC corn dries at 1/2 a point per day in decent weather. Rain can slow it down but that is usually a good estimate. So at 30% and you need it down to 15% If you are not using a drier then 30%-15%=15% dry down. 15%x1/2point per day is 30 days plus any bad weather days till harvest. Also go ahead and buy a box of fiberglass auger fingers for your bean head. You will need them.

Awesome vid!

Great vid Grant!

Nice those beans are almost ready, we are harvesting wet corn/soybeans right now in north western iowa

hope you are harvesting soon we started on September 20th, in Perry, Iowa

Great video. Make sure you spray off hydraulic Fittings before plugging in. Shop looks great. Need to purchase a nice size fuel borrow. Can't wait for harvest!!

Little tip for putting the head on. Next time you get it on the combine paint a yellow line in the centre of the head and one on the feeder house to match it makes hooking up the head suoer easy. That's how we do it and you can hook it up alone no problem

love to see him happy making his dream come true of having his own farm

And I would advise if you have beans in a field that r ready and parts that aren't harvest around the wet ones to save a few points in moisture

and make sure it is half throddle, seperator power on first and then feeder. to turn off so feeder first and then seperator

I still go to my Uncles and Aunts farm in Iowa every harvest in the fall! It’s something I like forward too a ton

Yeah engage the separator at low idle. Then the header and then you can bump up the throttle

Im so excited for harvest Grant. I would give advice or whatever but I don't have any lol

Grant I like the video I am glad that you bought the 606c corn head I cat wait for harvest videos

Engaging the feeder house and the whole combine always bogs on ours no matter the throttle engaging it at half throttle is the best for it

Always engage separator and feeder house at low idle, much easier on the machine!

great video we all really enjoyed it

Love your videos

You need to have the wheel on the header spinning slightly faster than the wheels on the combine so it does not knock any grain of before it enters the combine

Still interested in the 4440 and 4240? One comes with a duals, one comes with a front loader 130hp and 110 hp

Those beans will go next week for sure as long as it doesn’t rain!

Love your vids so much

Your really going to want that row sense in down corn

Low idle is best. Like a ride lawn mower, the belts could stretch or wear out faster if starting up at high idle. Same with everything else.

Hey man love your video,but have to watch the older ones. Keep it up!

Fresh cab is what we use at the farm in the combine

Harvest is going good for me

Here in illinois we are already harvesting

I'm starting my own farm because you inspired me

You're having too much fun.👍

Will be starting to farm in the next 5 years because of this youtube channel great video grant

love the videos

Let’s go harvest we’re gonna start next week too hopefully

As soon as possible go to a draper belt if possible it will help prevent grain loss.

I'm kinda late but, Congrats on 100k subs Grant! Making the dream.

Lol if only I could come put there and help you on your farm :) always been my dream to farm
